Embroidery Project II
Running time: September 2007 - December 2008
This time around we decided on a more *ahem* useful theme for the project!Embroidered items can include hats, gloves, blankets, stockings, cloaks, anything that you use to keep you warm. These and the embroidery on them should be researched and documented as well as possible, as we are interested in promoting research just as much as the embroidery itself!...

Well I've finally made some progress. I have all the fabric I need for the winter ID Viceregal Cloaks. I've cut out the two halves for each cloak, as well as, the sun and moon bits. I'm using this for my challenge as I do not normally do hand appliqué! I am going to try to just pin on the first sun and applique this on without a frame. I am doing this because it's what I'll have to do for the Laurel wreaths. I'm not sure how I'm going to get the Laurel wreaths cut out as I'm not an artist, in terms of drawing. I will probably rely on finding a decent image online and project this onto the fabric, as I've done in the past.

Here's hoping I am inspired to work on this again soon! I really want to have this done on time for the second deadline!

...The embroidery should also be done at least 50% in a medieval stitch not normally used by you.

This time around the project challenge is open to everyone, so please email us to be put on the list of participants and to be invited to join the project blog!And keep in mind that the challenge isn't limited to one item per person, if you've got the motivation feel free to make more!
